January – February 2026
We share everything you need to keep on top of current and upcoming changes to payroll legislation.
The Employment Rights Act 2025 is now law. In your Legislation Book, we set out what this means for payroll, including confirmed Statutory Sick Pay reforms from April 2026 and what remains subject to further regulation before it takes effect.
We also cover two important PAYE developments. This includes new PAYE liability rules for labour supply chains involving umbrella companies, confirmed to apply from April 2026, and changes to how PAYE notifications must align with the Overseas Workday Relief 30% limit.
In Payroll Unpacked, we turn our attention to the Budget in full. We break down what was announced, what’s been proposed, and what payroll teams should be watching next as further detail emerges.
And finally, more statutory rates have been announced following the Budget. We’ve included these, alongside all other confirmed rates for the next tax year, in your Payroll Supplies.
We tackle the trickiest areas of payroll, taking on a heavy-duty topic each edition and breaking it down step by step.
